Question regarding operations button in tables
On Google drive when my files are listed in the table there is a small hamburger menu that on click pops up small card with some options like in the image. what exactly is this called, I am trying to replicate something similar on a table but I am having issues doing research because i am not sure what the exact name for this type of design is

I'd call that a context menu
thank you
i would call that a context menu as well
other languages, like c#, call it that
I'm not sure why you want the name, but knowing that it's a context menu won't help you to implement it. If you search for information about context menus in web development, you are likely to get only information about how to handle a right button click.
this is the same
but knowing the name of something is important to learn from a design perspective
and from a developer perspective, you know what to call the thing
naming things is hard ... there is no need to make it harder by not asking about it
I was not implying that knowing the name is useless. I'm checking if this is an XY problem. If the real goal is to learn how to implement this and not actually to only know the name, getting the name won't help much.
i misunderstood you then, sorry
